Hard lymph nodes and firmer testicle

Hi there,

I'm an extremely worried 19 year old guy. I've got a series of slightly hard lymph nodes up my neck (still movable which is positive I think?), some tenderness on my chest and under arm as well as testicles that I think are firmer than they should be. Apart from that I have no other symptoms. I'm a bit of a worrier so my mind's obviously turned to the worst of something like later stage testicular cancer, lymphoma or leukaemia . My local GP hasn't been open over the weekend so I'm going to book in for an appointment tomorrow, I only noticed the nodes in the past few days and I haven't really got any other symptoms. I know nobody here can diagnose or anything I just kinda wanted to vent as I'm really stressed.

Thanks very much,

O

    Hey ES1,

    Hope you're doing ok, just wondering if you had any updates on the lumps, coldness and numbness? I had my blood test earlier today so hopefully I'll be getting my results on Monday, the stress is still here if I'm being honest.

    Again, hope you're keeping well.

    Not really mate! Lumps are still there...numbness is still there as is the coldness! Just keeping an eye on them and see if they go away in the next week or so.

     

    Called the docs on an (I presume) unrelated issue yesterday and raised this all again as well and he wasn't worried.

     

    I hope your results come through ok and that you're  managing to get some sleep in the mean time. All the best
